22 Sep 2017 by Craig Bright

Qantas’s first B787-9 Dreamliner has just rolled out of the paint shop ahead of its delivery to the airline and debut on domestic routes before flying its first international route from Melbourne to Los Angeles this December.

These Brisbane-based aircraft are due to begin deployment in mid-2018, with all four in place by the end of next year. Qantas has not yet confirmed which routes these four aircraft will operate on, though it has indicated Seattle, Chicago, San Francisco and Vancouver as well as destinations in Asia are on the cards.
